I'm 27 with Small Cell lung cancer.
O.k. I am no longer scared. I went through that already. People have been wonderful and caring and have come out of the woodwork for me. I never knew how truly loved I was. I am having a problem though. I don't think I am taking this as serious as I should. I did Chemo and the most I can say about that is that I have had…
neurapathy is a side effect of some chemos
thought I would write what I found out, since no one knows anything about it, and it is common and quite crippling. Go figure, they don't know anything about it but it is common? That peg must not fit in their hole. Okay, you can ask your docter to refer you to a pain specialist, or I just do an over the counter…
Lung cancer is now in my Liver
Have had to months of new chemo. Mayo Clinic study Topecaton and Taxil together. Had cat scan today told probably still there just to hope it has not grown more. Very unlikely it has shrunk or disappeared. Will see Doc next week for results. What do I do keep going or do I quit? Do I ask for another opinion in a larger…
NSCLC questions - what treatment, where?
My Mom has been diagnosed of Adenocarcinoma. Her doctor saw only a primary tumor on scans so attempted a lobectomy that was planned to be curative. We had bad luck as the doctor saw more "spots" around the area of the prim. tumor and on her diaphram. The doctor did not resect the tumor - only sampled some of the spots for…
Grammy: Thanks alot... a couple other questions
Thank you Grammy for writing back to me. This is an awesome tool for us information seekers. I let my parents read some articles about having a positive attitude and it's effects on the ability to heal yourself. I tried to assure them that the chemo my Mom might have will not make her life a living hell and cause constant…
Can't lay flat for MRI! HELP
I went in for a brain,neck MRI and only made it through the brain (30 min). I have lung cancer and cannot lay flat. Pain is not so bad at first but after about 15 min, oh my gosh! They won't let me take a sit up break either. They are doing a chest MRI tomorrow and that can take up to an hour! What do I do? I'm scared…
new 2 group, Mom has NSCLC, stage3 what next?
I'm trying to give my Mom the facts so that she can decide what to do. Yes, I think the doctor has her and my father convinced that this will invariably kill her, but I can't believe that. I am in remission from Hogdins and I hope my mom chooses to fight it and take any and all treatments possible. I had chemo and…
